big government and big banks have failed us. the crushing weight of the potential markets have yet to be fixed. that has helped to inhibit the ability of the american people to move forward. it is never a failure of the american people. that is not why we are having the difficulties we are having. it is the failure of governments to affect the larger institutions. for a period of time, you are about something that is too big to fail. they already have. they continue to drag down the ability of the american people to move forward. it is a change to actual leadership and a change to bring government into the 21st century, a realization that what has happened on wall street has failed. allow the american people to six those problems and moved forward. for the republicans, everything in the world is moving toward empower you to make more and more of your own decisions. it is what the basis of the free republic is. it is the basis of voluntary community organizations. these are the things that are happening. the only concern people h

we have a big debt. we have a big debt to gdp ratio. we have big deficits. i think the thing that is missing from the debate is the fact that the debt and deficit are symptoms, not the cause of a bad economy. we shouldn't just look at the national debt figures, that clock. that's $14 trillion. of the way we should think about the debt is as a debt burden. so debt divided by gdp. this is the way that economists think about it. it's the way that most investors think about a country's physical health. and if that's the case, what we need to be doing is focusing on raising our gdp, raising our economic growth. that will bring the debt down through what we doing instead is focusing on just cutting. unfortunately, that's going to have a negative affect on the economy in a negative affect on our debt burden. >> a lot of this power-play and political gains that evolve because of the 2012 presidential election coming up -- >> one of the parts of the deal will be to kick this or any more discussion about this until after the elections. >> that's one of the most fascin

one of the big victories that the g.o.p. won through this is to completely move the debate in the direction of spending cuts. they're still at risk of snapping defeat from the jaws of victory overplaying their hand and insisting on their way or the highway. the difference i think is the hit that the g.o.p. is taking from this, as your polls have shown, is probably more transtory. obama has still got to run on the national economic situation in 2012. he can't escape that. for him it's not debt number, it's the unemployment number. that is the risk. his loss is shallower than the g.o.p.s but they're longer lasting. >> bret: steve? >> he got an argument. one thing that the white house wanted out of the debate is the republicans are really putting the economy at risk. you are seeing this, you saw it in gene sperling this morning. this is becoming the main democratic talking point. they are trying to get republicans to own part of the economic difficulty we're in. i don't think it will ultimately succeed. but for the first time i

i think the stimulus was not big enough. too much of it was not in tax cuts that are not an efficient way to get the economy to grow, and one of the things that was under appreciated about a was a big part of what was doing was helping prevent local governments from laying people off. the stimulus gets far less credit than it deserves. actually did help create and protect jobs, but we need more and more targeted efforts right now to actually create jobs. the ideas you hear being talked about right now -- people are talking about, "what about a corporate tax holiday?" all of these corporations are off shoring hundreds of billions of dollars because they have to pay taxes to bring it back to the u.s. we will let them bring it back at 5 cents on the dollar, and maybe they'll use it to create jobs. they are already sitting on literally billions of dollars in profits that they are not spending. or another payroll tax cut. again, same problem. i do not see how that will create jobs in corporations are already making record profits
